Ok I had to look this up because last time I did MC modding was when I was in high school... It used to be obfuscated. Someone used to manually map those to human-readable names (didn't know this back then and thought the names were somehow hidden in the bytecode). But recently MS has started deliberately shipping unobfuscated builds. So I'm getting the feeling they actually want JE to be moddable. Which makes sense…
Sorry for the long wait, I wasn't ignoring you, just busy. Yes, symbols were obfuscated, but Java software with obfuscated symbols is trivial to reverse, at least compared to its native counterparts. My understanding is that the biggest change when releasing symbols was that the MCP team no longer had to manually update symbols for every update. Java also has great reflection features that make it a lot easier to mak…

#141No need to apologize. I agree the Java version is easier to reverse-engineer even if they tried to make it harder.
